Wood Energy

Wood Energy and its uses in Vermont

While it is clear that
trees and forests play a role in
climate change, their role in carbon offsets is less clear, and access
to carbon markets is downright murky-especially at the local level. To
help people understand carbon offsets, the University of Vermont
is working with community groups to conduct original research and adapt
existing information on how the voluntary carbon offset market is
evolving, how forest carbon plays a role, and the barriers and
opportunities for local communities to help fund urban and community
forestry through carbon offsets.
